Is there an Apple ][ family equivalent of AFX (Apple File Exchange) that the Macintoshes have? I regularly download files on the Mac at work (just toss the telcom program into the background under multifinder & do _real_ work on the top :) and sometimes forget to convert the HFS files to PDOS. I've tried finding file formats and such for HFS disks, but they seem to be non-existent.. Help? --Chan Wilson kodali@portia.stanford.edu "If you can't convince 'em, confuse 'em" ------

>Is there an Apple ][ family equivalent of AFX (Apple File Exchange) that the >Macintoshes have? There is a program archived on Apple2-L (whose name I forget) which will translate files on 400K Mac disks to Prodos. However, if you forget to use AFE, you're certainly going to forget to save them onto 400K disks, so it won't do you any good. Hopefully, one of these days Apple will finally come out with its HFS FST to solve all our problems. Alan H.
